Bob? You mean ... Bob Rock?!? The antichrist is producing WC?!?
Dammit, why am I always the last to know?

I agree. And we've already had a little taste from WC, and personally, if the tunes most of us have heard already are the best on the album, its sure to be a great record.

I've been out of the loop and loopy on grease paint since forever. Is there a release date for the first single?

First single "In View" On radio in two weeks
Nope. This is the best post EVER!
Seriously. I am so psyched to finally hear some actual news.
I was actually wondering today what the album might be called. I was thinking they may go for the natural hat trick of albums starting with "In"
I wonder what the album art is gonna look like, should be cool though it always usually is. This is Great news, can't wait to hear In View.
Anybody recall any examples of Gord ranting and the word's "In View" comming up? Perhaps he managed to rant some lyrics into a song throughout the tour?
I heard a rumour that the whole album sounds like In View and that by the time you get to track 12, the phone's ringing fiftee-ee-ee-een times.

Look for a "Why the hell don't they have a machine?" rant on the upcoming tour.
Rumor has it that the working title for "World Container" was "Great Escape" and "In View" is loosely based on a relationship with a "personal friend of the band" that turned, well, let's say somewhat "stalkerific". She has Gord In View and won;t stop calling him, etc...
